Free music in the park

The free MusicFest Saturday evening concerts in Sahalee Park continue Aug. 18, at 6 p.m., with a bluegrass and country night, featuring the Mud Springs Gospel Band and the Tucker Family Band. Last week, 60-80 people attended MusicFest, bringing blankets or lawn chairs to sit on the grassy lawn at the park. A Hispanic Music Night will be held Aug. 25, with the local band Grupo Ritmo Caliente. The band contest has been canceled, due to lack of signups.
